Question:

What is the role of the school in supporting students with behavior issues?

Answer:

Maryland schools have obligations to provide support to students with behavioral issues. If a student is suspended or disruptive, the school must offer intervention and support, such as positive behavior interventions, behavior intervention plans, referrals to support teams, and individualized education program teams. Schools also need to address the impact of a student’s behavior on the school environment through appropriate methods, including restorative practices.
